  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 58-year-old man who complained of dyspnea on exertion was admitted to our hospital. He was diagnosed, since five years before, as having hypertro-phic obstructive cardiomyopathy complicated with mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension. In the cardiac catheterization study, the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient was measured during sinus rhythm and temporary pacing rhythm with vary-ing AV intervals. During p-wave synchronous pacing (VDD pacing) with an AV interval of 100 milliseconds as compared with that during sinus rhythm, the LVOT gradient was reduced from 162 to 104 mmHg and the main pulmonary arterial pressure was reduced from 120/55 to 90/35 mmHg, and the cardiac index was minimally reduced from 4.46 to 4.26l/min/m2. Because he had failed to get clinical benefit by medica-tion only, and because he rejected surgical therapy such as open heart surgery, he was implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker. 4 days after implantation, re-study of cardiac catheterization was performed. The LVOT gradient was markedly reduced to 68 mmHg and the severity of mitral regurgitation was improved from degree 3 to degree 2. Following this, his clinical symp-toms were greatly improved.

Ours, therefore, is a case of a patient with HOCM wit mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension who was implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker. Because his clinical symptoms were improved after implantation, it is suggested that the dual chamber pacing may be effective in the long-term reduction of symptoms and sudden death rate found among patients with HOCM.
